Opening

Account opening, accompanied by customer onboarding, is often the official beginning of a relationship with a financial institution.

During this introduction to the financial institution, the main objective is to have a smooth, fast, and efficient process. You don't want to keep your (potential) customer waiting.

These days, people want to open accounts in their environment, whether that is online, via a mobile agent, or WhatsApp. We help you provide a user experience that will make your new customers feel welcome!

Problem

Opening an account in a bank can be quite a lengthy process. A significant part involves collecting data and ensuring that data is authentic and valid. In addition, financial institutions are required to comply with KYC and AML regulations. For most financial institutions in Africa, this means lengthy paper-based manual processes. The result is a poor customer experience which often results in loss of customers.

Post pandemic times, the customer will drift more towards financial institutions that do not require them to travel to bank branches to transact.

Solution
